Conditions at Leja da Palmeira in July
July: Deep Summer Lull
July is typically the lowest point of the surf year at Leja da Palmeira. The average swell height bottoms out at 4.5ft (1.4m) and the average period is just 8.5s, pushing the surf into the short-period windswell category. The direction dial is almost entirely locked into the NW and NNW quadrant - NW at 44.9 percent, NNW at 30.6 percent and WNW at 18.5 percent. That means the beach does not go completely flat, but it is mostly small peaks that need a longboard and low expectations. Wind is even more uncooperative: NNW wind reaches 43.2 percent, NW wind 16.1 percent, and ideal offshore wind is only 13 percent. The good news is the summer weather, with air temperatures averaging 20.1°C, only 0.41 mm/day of rain, and water temperature at 16.8°C. Surfers chasing clean waves will need an early-morning east wind or a rare summer NW swell to make July worth wetting a wetsuit.
